[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 409351, member: 68"] I would be running a detector over it as this saves time and effort taking samples home and crushing it. but be sure not to bother too much with the floor of the mine as there's always old junk like rusty nails steel spikes that you'll pick up. you know there's nothing but gold if its in the walls and roof but be careful no gold in the roof is worth dying over if you can't get it out safely or if the roof is very weak as for gold structural controls e.g. geology look for 2 main things one is called an anticline other syncline you'll always get them together but sometimes they are about 1km apart its basically folds in the rock/strata Google them if you have never heard of them remember a syncline is a smiley face and a anticline is a sad face look for them when underground or in road cuttings near these folds or in them you will find quartz reefs in those reefs you will likely find gold a good example is Bendigo goldfield very rich due to these types of folds.
